Was looking for something smidge better than the E-9 that would amplify and utilize better DAC. Seems iPad2 USB not very good for this purpose


Cypher Labs Algorythym Solo (CLAS) or Fostex HP-P1.  The Solo will also need an amp.

I'm agreeing with you there Anaxilus, especially if it featured a display with E Ink.


I like the idea of E-ink (or even better, color E-ink), especially for a player that doesn't require to do anything but music. The only downside is that E ink is just way expensive compared to LCD.

Does LEMO makes those mini coax in 75ohm? It looks interesting, will be great if it is in 75ohm as I only find the 50ohm variant on the web.



no I dont think so, but really 75ohm is meaningless for an interconnect this size. if  the cable, connectors and termination resistors are 50r then it makes no difference if its 75r or 50r. the 75ohm connector is just to match the 75 ohm cable and solderless bnc (not rca) for external interconnects of a certain size/type.  50r termination is the standard that is used for i2s and spdif internally anyway. if all components comply to the same impedance then its correct. of course most gear will claim to have 75r connections, but the vast majority are not even close

@Anax, Agreed the size of the J3 would be Ideal. Smaller can come later.
 
I wonder when this thing will be finished.

I'm hoping they use real glass this time and not the plastic "glass" they are using on the E7.  That thing is a scratch magnet!!!!!!

Either way I would use some zagg shield so it doesn't matter to me.  Glass cracks too.
